After Nintendo confirmed last August that The Switch and Switch 2 are set to officially launch in Indonesia<\/a>, the price has now been announced. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the report Duniaku.com<\/a>, The Switch 2 has an MSRP of Rp9,999,000, the first-generation Switch is priced at Rp4,229,000, and the Switch bundle with Pok\u00e9mon: Let\u2019s Go, Pikachu!<\/em> 4,450,000 rupiah. All three will be launched simultaneously on December 10, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many people immediately say the prices are too high\u2014is that really true when compared to other countries?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here's the Difference Compared to Prices in Other Countries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nintendo has just revised the MSRP for the Switch 2 in several countries via its official release in May 2026<\/a>, including Japan, the United States, Canada, and Europe. If all those figures are converted to rupiah using today\u2019s exchange rate, the results are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Country\/Region<\/th>MSRP (Switch 2)<\/th>Equivalent in Rupiah*<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Japan (Japanese edition, tax included)<\/td>\u00a559,980<\/td>~6,658,000 IDR<\/td><\/tr>
United States (excluding taxes)<\/td>$499,99<\/td>~8,890,000 IDR<\/td><\/tr>
Indonesia<\/strong><\/td>-<\/td>Rp9,999,000<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Europe (including tax)<\/td>\u20ac499,99<\/td>~10,225,000 IDR<\/td><\/tr>
Canada (excluding taxes)<\/td>$679,99<\/td>~12,206,000 IDR<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

*Conversion as of September 14, 2026; estimated exchange rates: 1 USD \u2248 17,780 IDR, 1 EUR \u2248 20,450 IDR, 1 CAD \u2248 17,950 IDR, 1 JPY \u2248 111 IDR. Exchange rates are subject to change at any time and do not include bank conversion fees.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It should be noted that, as of the writing of this article, Nintendo has not specified whether the MSRP of Rp9,999,000 for Indonesia includes tax (PPN) or not. Therefore, the comparison above is not entirely an \u201capple-to-apple\u201d comparison, especially with Japan and Europe, where the MSRPs definitely include tax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s clear is that MSRPs in Indonesia remain significantly higher than those in Japan and the United States\u2014two markets that have long served as the primary benchmarks for local gamers when purchasing through unofficial channels. But compared to Europe and especially Canada, our prices are actually still lower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There Are Games, But the eShop Is Still a Mystery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nintendo has also confirmed 10 games that will be available at the Switch 2 launch, ranging from flagship first-party titles to several remakes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Mario Kart World<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Donkey Kong Bananza<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Z-A \u2013 Nintendo Switch 2 Edition<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild \u2013 Nintendo Switch 2 Edition<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom \u2013 Nintendo Switch 2 Edition<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Mario Tennis Fever<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Pok\u00e9mon Pokopia<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Fire Emblem: Fortune\u2019s Weave<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Nintendo Switch Sports Resort<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    As for the first-generation Switch, there are popular titles such as Super Mario Odyssey<\/em>, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe<\/em>, Animal Crossing: New Horizons<\/em>, as well as the series Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet<\/em>, Violet<\/em>, and Legends: Z\u2013A<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    One thing remains up in the air: there\u2019s still no word on when the Nintendo eShop will launch in Indonesia. Until now, Indonesian gamers have been using accounts from the United States or Hong Kong to access the eShop, and it\u2019s possible that this practice will continue even after the Switch and Switch 2 are officially available here.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
